Yes, according to Constitutional scholar Robert Barnes, based on new polling data from his 1776 Law Center.
A week into "the war with no clear strategy or mission," there are still many hopeful, passionate champions of reform and Constitutionalism in the MAGA movement. Not long ago they represented over fifty percent of American voters. But today, the electoral power of the MAGA phenomenon has dropped to thirty percent, and is falling fast toward twenty percent.
Too many voters now feel betrayed by a president infected with hubris. They were led to believe it would be a weekend war. Then a week at most. Then two weeks. Then five weeks. Then the generals said, "At least until September."
What does this mean for the midterms? Mr. Trump has no good ratings, only massive disapproval. His party will lose dominion and influence in Congress. And then his impeachment is on the horizon. Possibly, also, some cabinet members.
Mathematical chances Democrats take the House? They stand today at 75%
The Senate? 85%
Chances Republicans lose the White House in 2028? 65%.
Will the MAGA Movement cease to exist by the end of 2026?
Here is an apt farewell poem by 19th century poet by Alfred, Lord Tennyson:
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
The Muslims conquered the Iberian peninsula, but as they pushed forward into southern France, their advance was halted at Poitiers by Charles Martel in 745 A.D., thus keeping all of Western Europe except for that Iberian peninsula safe from Muslim conquest. This could, however, not prevent incessant Muslim attacks on coastal villages, especially along the coasts of Italy and France, though such attacks also reached as far as Ireland (the raid on the village of Baltimore in 1631, in which everyone was seized and taken back, as slaves, to Algiers) and, in one famous case, the Muslim corsairs reached as far as Iceland, resulting in the kidnapping and enslavement of the entire population of Grindavik in 1627 by Muslims from Algiers and Salé. The Muslims vandalized and destroyed the Christian villages, and seized their inhabitants, bringing them back to North African shores. The men were used as galley slaves, as laborers on construction sites, and as house slaves, while the women and girls ...
